It is really unfortunate that a motorcyclist lost his life in a crash on Tyrone Boulevard. It has become too common these days that bikers lose control on their bikes & crash with a tree, truck, signpost, car, bicycle etc. In fact there has been an increase in the sales of scooters and motorcycles; however this has sadly been corresponded with an increase in deaths and serious injury of motorcycle riders. This is why it is important that as a motorcyclist you are alert, especially at junctions and roundabouts; you need to be anticipating what other road users are likely to do and always check before completing a manoeuvre. Another thing you can do after meeting with such an accident is to consult with a motor accident lawyer who will assist you in making compensation claims.
